Psalms 68:15
Compare all
13 aThough you lie down among the1 sheepfolds,
bYou will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver,
And her feathers with yellow gold.” 
14 aWhen the Almighty scattered kings in it,
It was white as snow in Zalmon. 
15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan;
A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
16 Why do you1 fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks?
aThis is the mountain which God desires to dwell in;
Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever. 
17 aThe chariots of God are twenty thousand,
Even thousands of thousands;
The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place. 
18 aYou have ascended on high,
bYou have led captivity captive;
cYou have received gifts among men,
Even from dthe rebellious,
eThat the Lord God might dwell there.

Psalms 68:15

The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan - This and the following verse should be read thus: "Is Mount Bashan the craggy mount, Mount Bashan, the mount of God? Why envy ye, ye craggy mounts? This is the mount of God in which he has desired to dwell." The Targum countenances this translation: Mount Moriah, the place where our fathers of old worshipped God, is chosen to build on it the house of the sanctuary, and Mount Sinai for the giving of the law. Mount Bashan, Mount Tabor, and Carmel are rejected; they are made as Mount Bashan."
